About me

Bonjour ! I studied at Stendhal University in Grenoble where I graduated in French as a foreign language in 1998 after a one year long internship in Syria. Then I taught French a year in military academies in Romania during my military duty. After a one-year world cycling tour with a friend, I worked in Grenoble: Alliance francaise of Grenoble and Lyon, Business School (GEM), in companies (Hp, Becton Dickinson, Caterpillar), CUEF (language school of Stendhal university), for Associations to fight against illiteracy. Finally, I left for Kyushu in Japan where I have lived for three years. I teach in a private school and at university.

Qualifications & Experience

Professional experience

Teacher of French as a foreign language GEM Business School

2011 - 2013 - Grenoble France - I taught Business French, pronunciation, written improvement in class and in tutoring for high-level expectation students and school!

All levels are welcome! I have taught for more than 15 years. All my courses are prepared in accordance with your skills, your goal, your availability. I can use a textbook or my own documents, videos, photos, press articles.

If you have suggestions, feel free to ask. If you do not know what course material to use, no problem: I will make suggestions to you. If you are interested in conversation, we can talk about technology, culture, travel, social sciences, economy, stories, sciences, food, politic, education, SF.

Preparation for DELF, DALF or a job interview, conversation, pronunciation, and grammar are my specialties. For pronunciation, the first thing to work is rhythm. Then we can work to solve the pronunciation problems specific to the speaker's mother tongue. In my opinion, self-confidence (it's also my job to help you acquire it) and trust in your teacher, plus quick progress through focused work are the keys to success. You can see my blog in French, Japanese and English.
